Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Litton Bionetics, Inc performed activation and non-activation suspernsion tests using homogenates of liver, lungs, and testes and suspensions from adult male ICR mice, Sprague-Dawley rats, and Macca mulatta primates. The indicator organisms were S. typhimurium strains TA-1535, TA-1537, and TA-1538, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain D4.
GLP compliance:
